Truth My Lie

I went to sleep and begun to dream Where from a sky scraping building, I'm falling down Then the dream switches over to where my friends are gathered around laughing as I drown As I scream for help, cards of my life were dealt And then I just gave in The urge to die, knowing I'm my only friend I awake to avoid my death Got a drink, went back to bed refreshed I fall back into another dream Where everyone took everything Including another image of self linked my previous dream to what my conscience felt There I was dreaming dreaming a meaning I've blamed associates that I once titled friends for the damage and scars The image of self was the informative of me being my worst enemy by far So how could it have been that I was betrayed by the looks of me and also a friend That self image was teaching When I let ones that I think are my friends take from me, I rob myself. I can't help the world I am only human being Reality, the world I attend is pretend Moral of this tale Own my faults in order to prevail Now I know the intervention this dream had with me, I know why This dream was to truth my lie
